Condition
The support consists of a flat panel which is cradled to the reverse. The paint surface appears rather flattened and under a discoloured varnish. Scattered discoloured retouchings can be made out upper left, centre right and along some very small losses to the left cheek. Inspection under UV lgiht confirms these retouchings and points to some further scattered strengthenings to add definition, for example in the hair and red sash.
Would benefit from removal of the present dull varnish.
